Your photography continues to blow my mind. You can see the texture on the frame of the pistol. The images are incredible.

I'm a fairly recent CZ convert. They just work for me. The Shadow 2 compact has been a joy to own. Great video

@josephburleton9758 27 дней назад

The Shadow 2 is one of the best affordable pistols on the market. You have to get into $2500+ custom pistols to surpass it.

@6793student 27 дней назад

I would not call $1400 for Shadow 2 compact “affordable”. Normal shadow 2 is very good gun but compatible to Walter Q5 SF, performance beretta, or new FN high power.

@USMC-1911 24 дня назад

I have a shadow 2. Orange and it runs about $2,000 I told my wife if they would ever cut some wait or shorten it I would definitely carry it 1.4 inches is a little thick .

@Osprey1994 8 дней назад

Nope, not true. You can easily get into a comparable pistol or better for less. My Prodigy was the same price as a CZ Shadow 2 OR, and the cost of getting the CZ all set up (real competitors don't shoot them stock, ask Ben Stoeger) was about the same as getting the Prodigy tweaked to being an overall better gun (yes I have shot them side by side). You can of course go even cheaper, but you will have more to do, but there are some guns that are ready out of the box like the Canik Rival S (fantastic shooter).

@Osprey1994 8 дней назад

@@6793studentThe wild thing is that the OP probably hasn't shot guns that cost more than a Shadow 2, and they didn't even specify if they were shooting a stock or a modified S2. I've shot Atlas, Nighthawk, MPA, Staccato, Wilson Combat, Jacob Grey, and of course I have shot CZ including a cajunized CZ S2, a TS2 and a TSO along with a bunch of other guns. I still ended up going the modified Prodigy route after shooting a few of those, and now it has a trigger that rivals those big names, and it cost me about the same as a cajunized CZ Shadow 2.

@6793student 8 дней назад

@@Osprey1994 a good 2011 will always shot better. I carry DWX compact, staccato c2 or commander 1911. Pistol which shoots better than 1911/2011 simply doesn’t exist.

@TYMGhosT 27 дней назад

It’s a nice gun but it comes with the wrong controls. I don’t usually go the one gun for all route because you end up with consequences like a gun that’s sized for carry but set up like a competition gun. I would love one of these with a de cocker. That would be awesome

@spacep0d 10 дней назад

Fantastic channel. Calm demeanor, no stupid background music, no hype, clean shooting, great information, and great video! Thanks much! I just got the CZ S2C and finally got some rounds down range. I need to zero it in and of course practice. What a weapon!

@buncha5651 27 дней назад

Great review, Justin. I have the full-size Shadow 2. The only thing i don't like is that rear sight windage would be better with screw adjustment. 😊

@VictorGee 19 дней назад

Unfortunately, CZ did not pioneer the low-bore axis. The Sig started working with inverted rails in the late 1930s, which would culminate to the 44/16 and later P49 and P210.

@HighCappa45 27 дней назад

Awesome review, I thought about getting one but I really have no need. My current edc is the CZ P-01 milled with the SRO and then my range gun is the Shadow2.

Had to wait 3 months to get mine ! Goes will with the full-size! But I'm a CZ75 fan!

@Sirgromulus 27 дней назад

Good review...thanks! I love my full size (partially Cajunized) Shadow 2 but took a pass on the compact. The absence of a firing pin block doesn't bother me as much as a manual safety lever on a CC gun. I'll stick to my (partially Cajunized) standard P01 with it's decocker, LOK grips, and Night Fision night sights. The trigger is not quite as good as the S2 (or 1911) but perfectly good for self defense purposes with its 6 1/2 # DA and 2 3/4# SA.

@henryschmidt636 27 дней назад

I don't know about CZ anymore. Since Colt, they seem to be haphazard and customer service has become down right combative. Love my CZ75B compact. Super simple, tiny sights but still laser accurate. For me now, the Sig P365 XMacro-Tacops is the one and only.

@stevenclark7070 27 дней назад

I really enjoy mine. I may have 500 rds thru it, and like most, it hasn't let me down. I had a p01 Omega that I gave to my son-in-law. These guns are very comparable, but the Omega was half the price. Either way, you can't go wrong.

@tomahawk5118 24 дня назад

@MarkAndrewEdwards 27 дней назад

Looks a lot like my beloved, the CZ-P-07. Though the P-07 can be decocked and treated like a normal DA/SA. I hope/wish there was magazine compatibility between the P-07 and Shadow 2 Compact but I fear it won't have it.

@A_Sense_Of_Purpos3 23 дня назад

Not having a decocker on this kind of ruins it as a carry gun for me. Really cool that it comes optic cut though.

@In_con_ceivable 27 дней назад

I have the shadow 2 full size and love it but man CZ missed the boat for me in the compact. Should be ambi release for slide and should be available with a decocker or safety … too bad for me.

@richardj3715 21 день назад

It has a safety.

@CaveWyatt 27 дней назад

Last I heard they still haven’t added a drop safety. Until then I’ll stick with my P-01 Omega.

@tommcqueen3145 27 дней назад

A drop safety is the trigger safety on a striker fired pistol it should have a firing pin block, which should be standard

@rcwarrior868 26 дней назад

There's videos on RU-vid that show the shadow 2 compact is very safe even without a drop safety. In addition Staccato's don't have drop safeties and many law enforcement agencies allow them for duty. I carry my shadow 2 compact appendix. It's a sweet shooter. But yes, with that being said I'm eyeing a P01, and the new P09 C nocturne for sure! I just love CZ pistols man

@TheLoneRanger745 24 дня назад

Just got the CZ 75 SP-01 Full size it's has a smooth DA , alot of videos showing "Cajun gun works" up grades , for just a few bucks a twelve pound recoil spring and twelve pound main hammer spring can make it a big difference, there's a performance parts kit if you want MORE . But you better study up and have skills.

@jessco8950 25 дней назад

I love the ergonomics and way cz 75s and p01s shoot but that slide is just way to difficult to manipulate. Due to it being so small and low into the frame I can never get a good grip on it.

@rdintennessee702 25 дней назад

Without the firing pin block it IS NOT an EDC solution for me. My CZ 75 PCR is a waaaay better choice. It is the ONLY CZ designed specifically for concealed carry. Offers just about everything the Shadow 2 has and MORE. The PCR is lighter by two ounces, has a firing pin block, a round in chamber indicator, textured front of the trigger guard, and snag free sights, all for hundreds less. Just sayin...

@slywolf2025 22 дня назад

@mikemccauley8089 27 дней назад

Another entertaining video, well done, but has sun’s glare from top of a slide really ever been an issue? In my 15 years of shooting pistols in competition never been an issue, I can’t even figure out how it can be a problem, my opinion just a bs talking point, this criticism not aimed at you Justin, just manufacturers that came up with this, as always, all the best!

@jimmymcclure4549 27 дней назад

I have a P-01. Its great. I am sure this is great too. But they are both too big for realistic concealed carry unless you're talking like law enforcement concealed in a holster under a sports coat. Those fiber-optic sight would also be a no go on a combat pistol.. Perfect for larping at the range though.

@KracknCorn 27 дней назад

@petervoyt24 do you? The cz75 barrel sits the same distance from the grip as a 1911. U must be confused because of the small slide, but higher frame makes it look like the bore axis is lower.

@6793student 27 дней назад

Compare to the full size shadow 2 the compact version is much lighter and trigger pull is not even close. It’s a good gun, but do not expect performance of the shadow 2. The cheapest retail of this gun is $1,400, the regular shadow 2 I can find for $1000-1100. I do not like the idea of paying more for the inferior version of Shadow 2.
